I can't believe Dyer would leave that job where he could retire. We sure this isn't the journeyman underling?
The Montevallo Head Coach took the assistant job at Georgia, so the Longwood coach was just typical big soccer forum random rumor.
Who are the top coaches in D2 we should be looking at in the near future to fill these hot seats? Coaches who could potentially “move up” if they keep progressing?
I would think Lewis Theobald of Central Missouri would have the opportunity to move to a D1 if he wanted to. Central Missouri is always one of the top programs in the country. Won the National Championship 2 seasons ago and usually always wins their conference. Mike Cook of Central Oklahoma. Has been the head coach there for what seems forever. Another really solid D2 program who every year is in contention for their conference championship and always in the national tournament. I don't think he would really leave Oklahoma but could be a candidate if Tulsa or Oral Roberts opened up? Seems Tulsa is on the hot seat. A bit of a dark horse on this next one. Im going to say Josh Smith of Eastern New Mexico. Only been there for 1 year but had a huge success (in relevance for that program) in his first season. Will likely have them contending for their conference championship in his 2nd season. This dude is willing to leave because he seems to constantly be bouncing to a new program every 2-3 years but its because of success. Started at a NJCAA D1 and got them ranked in the top 5 Nationally. Left after 2-3 years and went to a terrible NAIA program. Stayed 2 years and dominated there. Which got him the gig at Eastern New Mexico (D2). Its only a matter of time until he gets a chance at a mid major.
I saw that. I know nothing about him, but the press release about Cinci's record while he was there is bizarre. They rose from RPI 237 to 11? Not. Try 126 to 99.
So, this statement in the press release is completely false?? How common is that? Is there any ranking that has Cinn even in the top 50 with a 6-9-3 record? Maybe they meant "111" and can claim a typo. "During Cosinuke's five seasons at Cincinnati, the Bearcats' RPI rose from No. 237 to No. 11."
They were 237 two seasons before he (and the entire staff) arrived and got to as high as 11 (during the 2017 season) but never finished nearly that high. I think that they just worded it so it looked like a bang of a hire. Do not know much about him, looks 5 years as a volunteer on the mens side and then Cinci being his first full time gig and first time in the women's game.
So, we love these SID folks. Someone just forgot to add something like, "during week 5 of the 2017 season" and that's no big deal. They could make someone winning Zero conference games look like a good hire!
Just saw the Mississippi State coach resigned to pursue other opportunities the same year he just broke all their records and made NCAA tournament. That was a surprise, wonder if he's taking the BC job or Syracuse? Its a huge kick in the nuts for State as both he and the associate head coach bailed ship in a 2 week period. Thinking they saw the writing on the wall in SEC reaching their full potential already for success so get out while getting is good and go to better situation where can elevate even higher and not on bottom of pecking order hoping for scraps. Anyone with insight?
He’s took a job closer to home. but agree, huge kick in the rear for state. He was controversial there amongst people but got “results” good enough to get to NCAAs, just not the conference tourney ha!
He was 2-6-2 in the SEC--12th out of 14 teams: Let's not pretend miss. state was some big success story last year even though it managed to squeeze into the NCAA. Does that make you a hot property or is something else the reason for his departure?
